Quentin Tarantino: A Life in Pictures

28 January 10

BAFTA videos are supported by The Farm Group.

Quentin Tarantino has become known as one of cinema’s most inventive directors. Combining non-linear story-telling, idiosyncratic dialogue and graphic violence his films pay homage to many film genres and have gained both a cult following and box-office success.

On 11 January 2010, the director joined us at BAFTA headquarters to talk about his award-winning career as part of the Alfred Dunhill BAFTA A Life in Pictures series of events.

Speaking onstage to presenter Francine Stock, the man behind Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and the Kill Bill series, discusses his early years and how he broke into the film industry.

With clips of his major work, Tarantino talks about the difficulties of funding his most recent project and the impact of secure a US release on a director's career.

He goes on to discuss his love of putting action and violence on the big screen and his desire to always manipulate the reactions of his audience.

I feel like I am the orchestra conductor and the audience reactions are my instruments...
